Frequently-Asked Questions Regarding Director Search: |
| How were the Candidate Profile questions developed? |
NACD has been making matches for years. Questions in the candidate profile are based on experience from live searches as well as input from member boards. Questions address an individual demographics, experiences, skills, and preferences with regard to geography. Criteria can be searched in countless combinations, yielding a rich tapestry of information for boards conducting a search. |
| What happens once I’m a candidate? |
- You will be reminded periodically to update your profile, especially if enhancements have been made to the system.
- Meanwhile, boards are submitting criteria for new searches regularly.
When a board’s search criteria matches with your profile:
- You appear on a short list of candidates.
- You are anonymous to the board other than your qualifications.
- You receive notice at this time, and you choose whether to reveal your name and resume to the company/board.
- The company/board contacts you directly if it is interested.
|
| What will Boards get when searching? |
|
After submitting its specific search criteria to the NACD Directors Registry, the board receives:
- A qualified “short list” of candidates matching board’s criteria.
- In-depth resumes with relevant experience.
- Professional support to enhance the matching process.
- Contact information (upon consent of candidates).
